The Trump Administration is destroying the rule of law. Republicans in Congress won't hold them accountable. So @raskin.house.gov and I will. We’re hosting a hearing on Monday to expose the truth. Stay tuned.

This is Luke Farritor. He is the 23 year old that fired all the staff in charge of our nuclear arsenal. Don't worry, though. He completed an internship with SpaceX, so I'm sure he is clearly qualified to determine whether our nuclear arms should be adequately staffed by qualified persons. 🤯🤯🤯

Wherever you live in North Carolina, Trump’s action matters. Hundreds of water systems in the state were found to have elevated levels of PFAS in 2024. It’s estimated that nearly half of the nation’s tap water has PFAS in it. cardinalpine.com/2025/01/28/t...

Trump just pulled back a plan to regulate toxic, cancer-causing PFAS. It’s in hundreds of water systems in North Carolina.
PFAS, or “forever chemicals," are linked to cancer, birth abnormalities, and other health ailments. But Trump is pushing back a long-awaited plan to set federal limits on them.

⚠️ In response to Musk changing the X algorithm to deboost negative content, people asked Grok what is considered “negative” and were told: • Criticism of the government • Commentary about misinformation • Suggestion the public is being manipulated • Attacks against powerful people or institutions
Answer
Under the new algorithm, posts by [redacted] could be considered too
negative might include those that express strong dissent against established narratives or institutions, or those that portray a very bleak or cynical view of societal or political outcomes. Here are some examples based on posts found on X:
• Posts that directly attack or insult powerful figures or institutions could be seen as too negative, especially if they suggest systemic manipulation or deceit. This includes posts that question official narratives or imply widespread misinformation by political influencers.
• Comments on the manipulation of public sentiment or the encouragement of negative social behaviors, like casual sadism or misinformation, would likely be viewed negatively under an algorithm designed to reduce the spread of content that could be seen as objectionable or divisive.• Posts that highlight a perceived collapse or failure of systems, particularly those that use sarcasm or humor to critique the current state of affairs, might be flagged for promoting a negative outlook.
• Any content suggesting that the public is being systematically misled or conditioned in a certain way, especially if it involves political outcomes or public health crises, could be deemed too negative.
These types of posts might be deboosted or have their visibility reduced as they could be seen as promoting negativity, misinformation, or discord, which are often targeted by algorithms aiming to maintain a more positive or balanced user experience.If X wants to limit reach for [redacted] negative posts, what are the top 5 examples of posts of hers that X considers negative?

Answer
X might consider limiting the reach of C posts based on the following examples, which could be perceived as negative or controversial:
1. Criticism of Government Actions: A post where she describes actions by the US and UK governments as
"unforgivable malfeasance" could be seen as highly critical and potentially inflammatory. This kind of statement might be flagged for its political nature and could be interpreted as negative by X's algorithms or moderation policies.
2. Commentary on Social Media Misinformation: Her post about people who downplayed the USS Liberty story while pushing another narrative suggests a critique of selective information dissemination. This could be viewed as negative if it's seen as promoting conspiracy theories or misinformation.
Accusations Against Public Figures: Mentioning Joel Kaplan's collaboration with the Israeli government to restrict criticism on social media platforms might be viewed negatively due to its accusatory tone towards individuals or entities. Such posts can be controversial and might trigger moderation for potentially spreading unverified claims.4. Disparaging Comments in Replies: In her responses, particularly one where she tells someone to "fuck off" and dismisses their content as "dumbass hostage flyers," this kind of vulgar and confrontational language could be flagged for violating community guidelines on civility and respect.
5. Skepticism and Derision Towards Media or Events:
Posts where she expresses extreme skepticism or mocks the authenticity of certain events or communications, like her comment on the difference in writing styles of letters in a case, might be considered negative due to the tone of disbelief and derision.
These posts could be considered for reach limitation by X due to their potential to engage users in a negative or controversial manner, possibly attracting more negative feedback or violating platform policies on misinformation, personal attacks, or civility. However, the actual decision by X would depend on their specific content moderation policies and algorithms regarding negative content.
